It is therefore tobe distinctly under- 55 stood that the invention is not limited to the specic construction as illustrated and described, as the same is only illustrative of the principles of operation, which are capable of extended application in advance forms, and that the invention comprehends all construction within the scope of the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

1. A device of the character described, comprising, in combination, a Windshield, a window rail adjacent said windshield, a pair of brackets secured to said rail and depending therefrom, said brackets formed with pairs of upper and lower vertically aligned slots and with horizontally disposed seats communicating with said upper slots at the upper ends of the latter, said brackets formed with aligned arcuate slots communicating with said lower slots at the upper ends of the latter and with horizontally disposed seats communicating with said arcuatel slots at the upper ends of the latter, a panel of .antiglare material arranged between said brackets, arms xed to the sides of said panel and provided with trunnions operable Within said upper slots and with pins operable within the other slots, and means carried by said pins for clamping said arms and panel to said brackets in a horizontal position when said trunnions and said pins are disposed in said lrst and second mentioned seats respectively and said arms and panel in a vertical position when said trunnions and said pins are disposed in said upper and lower slots respectively.

2. A device of the character described, com--v prising, in combination, a windshield, a window rail adjacent said windshield, .a pair of brackets secured to said rail and depending therefrom, said brackets formed with pairs of upper and lower vertically aligned slots and with horizontally disposed seats communicating with said uppei slots at the upper ends of the latter, said brackets formed with aligned arcuate slots communicating with said lower slots `at the upper ends of the latter and with horizontally disposed seats communicating with said arcuate slots at the upper ends of the latter, a panel of .antiglare material arranged between said brackets, arms fixed to the sides of said panel and provided with trunnions operable within said upper slots and with pins operable within the other slots, and means carried by said pins for clamping said arms and panel to said brackets in a horizontal position when said trunnions and said pins are disposed in said first and second mentioned seats respectively and said arms and panel in a Vertical position when said trunnions and said pins are disposed in said upper and lower slots, each of said brackets having an invected wall denng said lower slots and constituting aplurality of seats for selectively receiving the respective pins for effecting a vertical adjustment of said panel with respect to said brackets.
